I always use oil on them. Just lightly coat them.

Oil has worked well for me just dab some clean oil on your finger and put a light coat around each injector seal so they slide right in. Just make sure you don't get any on the middle (pintle) part of the injectors when you're installing them.

The best thing to use is Di-electric grease or any NON petroleum based grease/lubricant.
It's the best thing to use for any O-rings and injector seals.
Petroleum based lubricants will help to dry out the gaskets over time. Using a non petroleum bades grease will help to extend their life.
